Fusion 360 provides professional solar design services for commercial, industrial and public sector projects across the UK. From initial feasibility through to detailed system specification, our team helps businesses plan efficient, practical and compliant solar PV systems.
Whether you are considering a new solar installation, upgrading an existing system or exploring battery storage, we can support the full design process with clear technical guidance and carefully considered recommendations.
Whatever the nature of your commercial solar panels project, we’ll give you sound advice, realistic solutions and a very competitive quote.
Commercial Solar PV Design Services
A well-designed solar PV system starts with a detailed understanding of your site, energy usage and long-term objectives. At Fusion 360, we assess the suitability of your building or land before creating a tailored solar design that supports performance, cost-efficiency and future scalability.
Our solar design services can support a wide range of commercial environments, including offices, schools, warehouses, factories, healthcare facilities, retail units, agricultural buildings and public sector sites.
Solar PV System Layouts
We create solar PV system layouts that are designed around your available space, building structure and energy requirements. This includes assessing where panels should be positioned, how the system should be arranged and how to maximise generation without compromising safety or access.
Our layouts consider:
- Panel placement and orientation
- Roof structure and available space
- Shading from nearby buildings, trees or equipment
- Access routes for maintenance
- Inverter and equipment locations
- Cable routes and electrical integration
This helps ensure your solar PV system is designed to work efficiently from the outset.
Roof Space and Orientation Assessments
Not every roof is suitable for the same solar design. Our team reviews roof space, pitch, orientation and any potential restrictions to determine how much solar capacity can realistically be installed.
We assess key factors such as:
- Usable roof area
- South, east and west-facing elevations
- Roof pitch and panel angle
- Shading throughout the day
- Structural considerations
- Access and safety requirements
This allows us to recommend a solar PV system that is practical, efficient and suited to your building.
Energy Generation Estimates
Fusion 360 can provide energy generation estimates to help you understand the potential output of your proposed solar PV system. These estimates are based on the system size, panel positioning, orientation, shading and site-specific conditions.
This can help you understand:
- Expected annual energy generation
- Potential reduction in grid electricity usage
- Estimated carbon savings
- How much energy could be used on site
- Whether battery storage may improve performance
- The likely suitability of solar for your property
These insights can support internal decision-making, budget planning and wider sustainability targets.

Solar PV installation for Loughborough College
Fusion Electrics were contacted about a solar PV installation project for the Technology Building at Loughborough College. Loughborough College has a strong commitment to sustainability and energy efficiency. As part of their efforts to reduce their carbon footprint and cut down on energy costs, they asked Fusion to design a solar PV system to lower operating costs, reduce reliance on the grid, and increase sustainability. The Challenge: This ambitious project presented several challenges that Fusion needed to overcome. The first was the requirement to complete the entire roof installation within Loughborough College’s one-week half-term break. With it being February in the UK, the weather was favourable one day and then pouring with rain the next, leading to conditions that were less...

Battery Storage Considerations
Battery storage can help businesses make better use of the energy they generate from solar. As part of our solar design services, we can assess whether battery storage may be suitable for your site and energy usage profile.
We consider:
- When your site uses the most electricity
- How much solar energy could be exported?
- Whether stored energy could reduce peak-time grid usage
- Available space for battery equipment
- Future expansion requirements
- Integration with existing electrical infrastructure
This ensures battery storage is only recommended where it adds practical value to the overall system design.
Commercial Solar Planning
Commercial solar projects often require careful planning before installation can begin. Fusion 360 can support the early-stage planning process by reviewing technical, operational and site-specific requirements.
Our commercial solar planning support can include:
- Feasibility reviews
- Site surveys
- System sizing recommendations
- Design considerations for occupied buildings
- Planning and access requirements
- Budget and phased installation guidance
- Coordination with wider electrical works
This helps businesses move from initial interest to a structured, achievable solar project.
Grid Connection Support
Grid connection can be an important part of commercial solar planning, particularly for larger systems or installations that may export energy. Fusion 360 can support the process by helping assess the likely grid connection requirements for your project.
We can provide guidance around:
- Grid connection considerations
- Export limitations
- DNO application support
- System size restrictions
- Integration with existing electrical supplies
- Technical requirements for larger solar installations
This helps reduce delays and ensures grid connection requirements are considered early in the design process.
System Specification and Component Selection
Choosing the right components is essential for long-term performance, reliability and safety. Fusion 360 can help specify the most suitable equipment for your commercial solar PV system based on your site, budget and objectives.
This may include recommendations for:
- Solar PV panels
- Inverters
- Mounting systems
- Battery storage
- Monitoring systems
- Electrical protection equipment
- Cabling and containment
- System controls and metering
Our goal is to design a system that is fit for purpose, easy to maintain and built around your operational needs.
